RLA Gallery Summer 23'.jpg

Summer Botanical Art Exhibit

Pennsylvania Native Plants Contributing to the Ecosystem is our summer art exhibition that is on display May 30 thru September 15, 2023. The exhibit features original botanical and native birds of western Pennsylvania. The 51 pieces of art were created by 8 artists that belong to the Allegheny Highlands Botanical Art Society, the local chapter of the American Society of Botanical Artists. Artist inspiration came from the question, “Why do you draw nature?” The art is both educational and creative, showing the intricacies of native plants throughout the seasons. Many of the original art pieces on display are offered for sale directly from the artist for pickup or shipping after the exhibition ends.

 

The RLA gallery is located on the second floor Atrium in the common area of the building and is open and free to the public Monday through Thursday 10am-7pm and Friday 10am-4pm. For more information, visit our website www.theRLA.org.
